Retropie is decent.

>>57470352
What about the movie part, can i reproduce movies at Full HD? Or its too weak for it?

>>57470283
Never used as pi3 for that myself, but I did try with the 1 and the 2.

The 1 played the video fine, but choked and dropped frames on certain audio formats, and the UI was laggy as hell on it. Ib think I had it overclocked even. I never tried emulation on it.

The 2 had no issues with any SD or HD coherent I threw at it. The UI was sluggish at times, but usable. I did run a few 8 bit console emulators on it to see, but never used it regularly for that. It seemed fine. I regularly use my 2 as a basement browsing machine: only one or two tabs at a time, both gecko and WebKit browsers are responsive enough in anything but JavaScript heavy apps like office or web games.

The 3 is much more powerful, both in CPU performance and the heat the damn thing generates.

Price out the pi3, fan, a wall wart, and case. Then, head to places like newegg, and see if you can get an open box or clearance zotac or other mini pc. If you're lucky, you'll find one for within $20 of what you priced out above. If you're not, and feeling adventurous, go ahead and try the 3. The worst that will happen is it tops out at emulating the n64.

>What are the applications of this stuff?
Right now ?
Bendy phones.
In the future ?
Maybe some kinda wearable gimmick.

>>57470257
u cud like bend your phone around ur dick n use it like a condom.

>>57470274
Sadly they're still no levitating before reader's eyes transparent monitors, like in sci-fi movies. Sigh.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING WHYYYYYYYY
WHY CANT THESE GOOKS JUST PUT THE SCREEN ON A NORMAL STAND LIKE EVERY OTHER MANIFACTURER

Why are you stupid enough not to measure the width and length of the stand? Are you fucking stupid? Ooga booga?

>>57469779
Are Koreans gooks too? I'm not fluent in slurs.

First for Trump

Fuck dump

I've only used Aliexpress so far, does gearbest pack items into a single delivery or does it ship every item separately?

>>Google maps -bing maps (no street view)
>>Gmail :too many e-mail services that are better or the same
>>chrome :firefox(shut up!)
>>Google play store :nothing like it in size
>>YouTube:nothing like it in size
So just google play store and youtube.

>>57469646
Is bing maps really up to par with Google maps?
GPS, navigation, finding tiny stores in rural areas?

>>57469488
Not to anything resembling the same combination of breadth and depth no. And, because of the integration, the single apps and services that come close or are slightly better end up being worse overall — the full package together works incredibly well.

I think that most of the botnet memeing is greatly over exaggerated. Yes, you should be cautious and not put much overly private stuff up there, but I think that Google is a pretty good company overall. That and if they ever overstep the shitstorm will be legendary and they're well aware of that.

I realized i fucked up in my first sentence, let me clarify i need a 2x8GB kit, so 16GB total. Budget is $115 and lower

>I'm trying to up my ram from some shitty 1333 4gb sticks
>ended up grabbing some Ballistix Sport 1600 2x8GB

look for some old 1333 2x8gb one ?

>>57469366
I'm looking for atleast 1600 writing speeds though. I can tank my FPS at times because my RAM cant compete with the rest of my computer sometimes.

In case nobody suggested you today to kill yourself, I'll be the first.

>PC market is saturated with "good enough" devices from the past half decade
>Phones require replacements every two years and is still a relatively new market
>Hurr durr PCs are dead
No, they're not. It doesn't help that phones are still incredibly weak with regards to computational abilities.

>>57469392

This.

Just look at all the people on /g/ happily using Core2duo Thinkpads. Decade old machines are still perfectly suitable for daily tasks.

The rampant consumerism on phones will die down too now that a 2 year old phone will still do everything you expect a smartphone to do without being a piece of shit.

High prices are a retard filter because retards don't know how to click the sort by price box

When does 11.11 end? Right now it's 11 November 8:35PM. Does it end US timezone?

There's a count down on every product page.

>How do you like that /g/?

I guess it's fine, however linux shells are stil superior.

>>57468874
But...but...it has ubuntu bash or something like that.

>>57468910
I don't see unixoid sysadmins jumping ship just because of that

>>57468825
Which interface?
They had SCSI, USB and parallel printer ports.
Guess which one is still supported.

>>57468825
It will need additional power in the form of a wall wart whichever version you have.
>>57469588
All of them?

It's a shame that there wasn't a universally adopted standard successor to the floppy.

Zip and minidisc probably came the closest to being a de facto standard, but there's a whole bunch of others that became obsolete and left tons of media with little chance of being recovered in the future.

>>57468727
Nice taskbar.

>>57468727
Buzzing could be coils in your GPU resonating because something has broken and they are getting dirty power. Roll a piece of paper into a long thin cone, wedge the thin end into your ear and pan around the gubbins of your PC to isolate the source of the noise first. I call GPU simply because your graphics are fucking out. Does your motherboard have onboard gfx you can fall back to for testing?

>This is all that shows on my monitor, but I know the monitor works fine as it's able to show the AOC logo etc when starting.
are you absolutely sure?
have you tried the monitor on other equipment?

this looks like a moderately rare monitor issue from the photo, and can be a source of noise when it's happening

>>57468428
Make it a time machine.

Install Gentoo

don't build it
